Open source is going to eat "Open"AIs lunch.

Llama and Qwen are giving GPT and o# a run for their money. And you can build actual applications atop them.

Hunyuan is as good as Sora and works with ComfyUI and a robust set of open tooling and controlnets. LTX runs blindingly fast on consumer hardware.

Nobody talks about Dall-E anymore which is how far the open models have progressed. Why use a shitty web UI when you can have Invoke's incredible inpainting, brushes, and layers for free? Or fine tune your own style?

This game isn't going to be about foundation models. The value of a foundation model is fungible and will go to zero. The switching costs are zero and there are too many players.

This is a game about compute and applications.

Thanks for speed running the game OpenAI and showing everyone the way. We don't need you anymore.
